Description
Product Overview
Corning’s 3270 Polystyrene CellSTACK is engineered for laboratories that demand consistent, high‑quality cell culture environments. The product features a rectangular flask design constructed from USP Class VI polystyrene, ensuring biocompatibility and chemical resistance. Each of the ten chambers is sealed with a 33 mm threaded cap that incorporates a 0.2 µm pore non‑wettable membrane, allowing essential gas exchange while minimizing the risk of contamination. The chambers are sterile out of the package and have undergone 100 % leak testing, guaranteeing that the medium volume—ranging from 1250 mL to 1900 mL per chamber—remains stable throughout the incubation period. The total cell growth area of 6360 cm² provides ample space for a variety of adherent and suspension cell lines, making the CellSTACK suitable for both routine assays and more demanding experimental protocols. ![[Product front view showing all components]](https://www.yelvora.store/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/d6b4cac7740345089dcfe8cd2d344020.jpg)
Usage
The CellSTACK is ideal for cell culture applications in academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical research settings. Its robust construction supports use in standard CO₂ incubators, biosafety cabinets, and automated handling systems. Researchers can seed cells directly into each chamber, add medium, and monitor growth without the need for frequent media changes, thanks to the large volume capacity. The TC‑treated surface promotes optimal cell attachment, which is especially beneficial for primary cells and stem cell cultures that require a highly supportive substrate. The non‑wettable membrane caps enable gas exchange while preventing aerosol contamination, making the chambers suitable for long‑term cultures and high‑throughput screening where sterility is paramount. The product’s dimensions (21 × 18 × 12.75 in) and lightweight design (2.2 lb) facilitate easy handling and storage in laboratory refrigerators or freezers when not in use.

FAQ
What types of cells can be cultured in the CellSTACK?
The CellSTACK supports both adherent and suspension cell lines, including primary cells, stem cells, and engineered cell lines. The TC‑treated surface enhances attachment for cells that require a strong substrate.
Can the chambers be reused after sterilization?
Yes, the chambers are designed for multiple uses. After each experiment, they can be cleaned, autoclaved, and re‑sterilized according to Corning’s recommended protocols.
How does the non‑wettable membrane prevent contamination?
The 0.2 µm pore membrane allows gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse while blocking liquid droplets and aerosol particles, thereby maintaining a sterile environment inside each chamber.
Is the CellSTACK compatible with automated liquid handling systems?
Absolutely. The standardized 33 mm cap size and robust construction make the CellSTACK compatible with most robotic pipetting and dispensing platforms used in high‑throughput screening.
What documentation is provided with the product?
Each CellSTACK comes with a certificate of analysis, sterility assurance level (SAL) report, and compliance documentation for ISO 13485 and USP Class VI standards.
